I am hoping to learn from anyone that works with high school and young adult transition programs-both those that prep for workforce and college. What are your successes/ideas for student on the job training? In addition, any ideas on adult learner literacy programs. I have a Masters and am interested in a certificate program for adult learner literacy. Does anyone know anything about employment options with this certificate/credential on teaching license. I have worked in education at all levels and most recently adult ed for GED 2014. Thanks for any ideas or help. Katy

I am an educator in the field of special education for over 20 years. I have served as a special education teacher and more recently as an administrator in the field for the past seven years. I am looking forward to collaborating on behalf of the needs of all learners.

I have been teaching for 8 years in self-contained resource room setting and struggle with the same question as Marcy. I have checked out Elaines resources and appreciate the ideas. I will investigate them further as time allows.

I will put together a resource page of my own and share with you when I get back into my classroom.

Thanks for the share Janet! I like the checklist idea, it easily summarizes the important details that can sometimes fall through the cracks. In our classes we always talk about the policies and practices in Manitoba but not necessarily for the rest of Canada. Is inclusive education mandatory in Ontario?
